Postmodern Climate Change


Overview

Glover analyzes international climate change politics as an issue of modernity and in the context of environmentalism. It offers a new way to understand the climate change problem and is concerned with problems of modernity and postmodernity in the context of contemporary environmental thought. Focusing on the international politics surrounding the UN agreement of climate change, the Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Kyoto Protocol, the author examines the issue using the key aspects of climate change science, global environmental politics, and global environmental management.
